THE WIFE MURDERER ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
HIS CLOSING HOURS OF LIFE.


PETERSBURG, VA, August 12.-This
morning about O'Clock Mr.. Thomas Will
liams, the death watch, went in Puryear's
cell to carry him his shroud. Mr.. Williams
awoke Puryear and told him that it was
about time for him to dress himself. Pur-
replied "All right" and told Mr.. Williams
to put his shroud on chair in his CELL
Mr.. Williams did so, and after locking the
door of the prisoners cell came out into the
courthouse yard to get Puryear bucket of
water. What was Mr.. Williams's surprise,
on his return to the prisoners cell, to find
that Puryear had attempted to commit
suicide by cutting place on his neck and a
place on his arm with piece of blade of
some knife. The wounds, however, did not
prove serious. Puryear had weakened very
much during the past day or two, and this
morning he looked very pale and feeble
Several hundred persons, anxious to catch
a glimpse of the murderer, filled the court
house yard, when he was brought out of
his cell and placed in the rockaway in which
he was conveyed to Prince George Court
house, the scene of the execution.
In the rockaway were Sheriff Lewis
Youagblood, several police officers and Rev.
]. W. Rosebro, Puryear's spiritual adviser.
The vehicle was strongly guarded, both
front and rear, by mounted men.
The execution took place obout 2 o'clock
this afternoon, after prayer had been Offer
ed by Rev. Mr.. Rosebro. Puryear's body
was then cut down, and will be sent to Din
widdie county for interment.

REDUCTION OF THE PUBLIC DEBT.-The
amount of public dept paid off by this gen.
GRAFTON, in addition to pensions and other
like results Of the civil war, is something
astonishing. On August 81, 1865, the debt
was So, 755, 995, 275, with an annual interest
charge of S151. 1889, 051. On August 0 of
the present year, the principal of the debt
was 81, 1865, 434, $50, reduction in twenty
two years of 81, 500, $50, 6s5. In the same
period the annual interest charge has been
reduced to $40,645, 900, a decrease of $111,-
1S7,051. Since the beginning of the present
administration, the principal of the debt
has been diminished by $240, 488, roe and
the interest charge by SIS, 1858, $40. All this
is fine showing for the next generation,
but it was hard upon this generation to tag
it so heavily to pay of creditors who were
not in hurry for their money. Those who
have been paying, suffered many losses from
the civil war, and it would have been bet
ter to let future generations have chance
to pay something for the blessings we trans
mit.-BdH. Sun.

now defuuct American group of the Inter.
national received a letter from the head
quarters of the Canadian Revolutionary
League, copies of which, he says, have also
been addressed to all Fenian societies in the
United States. The letter is signed by the
Fenian leader, Patrick Grove, and Louis
Riels aide-de-oamp, Gabriel Dumont, and
bears the seal of the Revolutionary Gen.
trail Committee of Canada" It starts out
with long denunciation of British rule,
gives brief history of the late Riel rebel
lion, asserts that a vast majority of the
Canadian population was eager to throw off
the British yoke and calls upon all who
sympathize with the cause of the oppressed
in Canada and Ireland to assist the Cana
dian revolutionists with all means-money,
arms, volunteers, DC. The headquarters
Of the movement are in Winnipeg.

The Republican State Committee was in
session at the residence of Senator Malone.
in this city, nearly the whole of last night
In honor IF the occasion the Generals resi-
dence was brilliantly lighted UP, and the
Republican representatives were handsome
ly and Hospitality entertained. The body
was not lled to order until after midnight
for the tn osacton of business, the earlier
hours OF ;he night having been devoted to
informal discussions and the expressions of
individual views. Reports as to the condi-
ton Ct the party We're heard from the diff
ferent delegates, and this condition, as gen
orally represented, was made to appear in a
very favorable light. The party is said to
be i'll gUnd fighting trim and hopeful as to
success in the fall campaign. There were
other Republicans, not members of the
committee, present and taking part in the
conference, and the body in members had
the app. aranco of small convention -
Among the most active members present
was Hnii. .fohn S. Wise, Of Richmond, q
firm friend and supporter of General Ma
hone, in !. bonn General Malone places the
utmost confidence.
After Z free interchange of views and
opinions the committee adjourned this
morning, haviug delegated to sub com
mittee, oi ghich General Malone is chair
man. the duty Of framing an address to the
Republican voters and people of Virginia,
which sd uld embody also "a platform of
principles to govern the party in the APP
preaching campaign. This committee was
in session to-day, discharging it's duty. At
this wiring the address has not been made
public, though The master hand that fran
ed it is we'll understood.
The presepce of the committee has caus-
ed but liz, 10 interest here. With the plat
form adopted at Roanoke the Democrats
are great. pleased, and they are in high
spirits as 70 the success Of their party i'll
November next.
Up to !: late hour tonight the address of
the Republican State Committee has not
been made public and all efforts to obtain
any detiBj.s idea as to its character have
been futile. A member said to-day it will
review the platform of the Democratic par
tv adopted at Roanoke, and arraign the
Democracy for it's legislation, both national
and Stat, and especially for its failure to
abolish ti,p reyenue-tax on tobacco; charg-
ing it with defeating the Blair educational
BILL opposing protection, and failure to set
tie The State debt. 1t will declare the Re
publican purity able to settle the State debt
as soon as restored to power. 1t promises
the REPEAL Of the revenue system and a fOs-
tering cara Of protection aud public educa-

It is probable the address will not be ont
for day vi two. 1t is further reported
that Mahose made lengthy speech, claim
ing that the debt Can be settled if the Eng

The August Crop Report.

WASHINGTON August 10.-The prospect
month ago was for a very heavy crop of
corn, and rate of yield about the average,
Its condition in all the States of the Attain
tic coast is now unimpaired and of very
high promise. In Texas and Tennessee
the condition has declined materially. In
the central corn region, however, in the
valleys of the Ohio and Missouri, where
wo-thirds of the crop is grown, and the
commercial supply is procured, a very heavy
reduction has taken place, which has made
the national average 90.7, instead of ST.
last month. The cause is long continued
drought. The condition of spring wheat,
reported very low last month, from ravages
of chinch bugs, is not improved in the Au-
gust returns, but has fallen off very slight
", the general average being 1873, two
points less than tho August returns of last
year. There is no report of winter wheat
the present month, as it is too early to OBJ
tain results of thrashing. The condition
of the oats crop averages S5.6, which indi.
Gates crop slightly under average. The
barley crop promises to yield rather better
than was feare d last month. The buck
wheat area appears to be practically the
same as last year, and averages about % in
condition. There is great reduction since
JuIy L III Uu0 COuulbiOu VI pO6dlOtS, dimOSt
entirely the result Of drought. There is no
material decline on the Atlantic or gull
coast, but the injury is severe in the West.
The fruit crop is very poor. There will be
few apples outside of New England and
New York. There will be partial crop
in Michigan. In the Ohio river States the
harvest will be nearly failure. The hay
crop is also greatly reduced in the West.
The general average is 80. The past month
has been favorable to cotton, except that
rainfall has been unequally distributed in
point of time, drought threatening at one
period and damaging floods following.
In a comparison of ten years, the August
condition is only exceeded that of by 1882
and 1885, one producing large crop, the
other an under medium yield. The gener-
al average of condition is 1913 which is
lower by over three points than that of July.
The State averages are: Virginia, "a;
North Carolina, SO; South Carolina, 90;
Georgia, 81; Florida, SO; Alabama, 90; Mis-
sissippi, 96; Louisiana, "a; Texas, 81; Ar
kansas, 81; Tennessee, 90. The tobacco
crop is in high condition in the seed leaf
States, averaging nearly 100, except Wis
consin. In view of the heavy reduction in
acreage, only small fragment of the usual
crop may be expected.

TERRIBLE MASSACRE AT CAPE CHARLES

TERRIBLE MASSACRE AT CAPE CHARLES.
Oaancock, Va, August ia terrible
massacre occurred on Monday night at Cape
Charles, in the lower.part of the Eastern
Shore of Virginia. A fleet of fishing
schooners arrived here on Monday from
Rappahannock river. Some fishermen, af-
ter drinking freely, got into disturbance
with some citizens, which the town bailiff
attempted quite. He was knocked down
several times by one fisherman, and in re-
venge opened fire on the strangers, who
were all unarmed. Several of the citizens
also jnired in the firing, and many Of the
fishermen we've wounded; the others fled to
their boats and put out iuto the bay, carry
ing with them all the wounded except five,
who were too severely injured to get away.
Several of the wounded men will probably
die.
